is the DV-MISSION 48-Hour Film Challenge? Teams are given a film title, genre and one line of script at 7:00pm Friday night. Each team then have 48 hours to get their 2 minute film back for 7:00pm Sunday night. The Premier is at 8:30pm and the winners are announced at 10:00pm. DVMISSION is run by Jinx Prowse (blue-rooms.com) I always wanted to enter a 48-Hour Film Challenge. After 5 years of waiting someone said - do it your self. So in 2006 I ran and entered the first ever DVMISSION 48-Hour Film Challenge. And so it began… The first challenge had 8 teams enter and 6 teams finish. The second challenge had 16 teams enter and 16 finished. This year 23 teams entered and 22 made it to the finish line. When I organised the first DV-MISSION I was surprised at the professional level of the equipment used. For example DV cameras that cost in excess of £1000. For this reason I made a specific category for Pro-Tech and Low-Tech equipment. Pro-Tech means: DV cameras that cost in excess of £500. External sound recording equipment that costs in excess of £200. Lighting that costs in excess of £100. Note: This does not mean amateur or professional. Everyone is welcome to enter from beginners with mobile phone cameras, to professionals who want to make a broadcast quality film! Pro-Tech and Lo-Tech means what equipment you use, not your ability! We welcome professional filmmakers who use Lo-tech equipment. We welcome beginners who have access to expensive kit. If
the idea of writing, storyboarding, filming, editing,
adding sound and rendering a whole movie in 48 hours
sounds crazy, then your right. This is an endurance test
of both human and machine. |
